A.C. Expansion valve

Hi,
I have a 2000 Ford Excursion Limited, 6.8 gas V10, 4x4, front and rear air.
just had a compressor kit and condenser installed. Seems to take a while to get cold.
i gave them an expansion valve to replace as well. Is there one in the front or just in the back passenger jack compartment? Because the one in the back looks original.
just wanted more info before I call my mechanics.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Nathan

The only TXV is for the rear, the front uses the metered orifice strainer.

I just called and the mechanic didn’t change it out so I have to head back up there.

would the rear expansion valve affect the temp or performance of the whole system or just the rear?

it would keep the Rear unit from working like it should.
It will not effect how well the front unit works...

if the Freon charge is within spec, than only the rear is affected by a bad or failing TXV.
